We list this mask because it's sold to UK buyers, but its maker publishes less than most. Check these points before buying:
We'll update this listing if the manufacturer provides this information.
A flexible silicone mask with 800 LEDs (red, blue, green, near-infrared and deep near-infrared) offering eight colour programmes, run from a wired, rechargeable controller.
| Light | Wavelength | LEDs |
|---|---|---|
| Red | 630 nm | 200 |
| Near-infrared | 850 nm | 180 |
| Deep near-infrared | 1072 nm | 20 |
| Blue | 460 nm | 200 |
| Green | 520 nm | 200 |
| Total | 800 |
Sources differ: Purple mode: manual 430 + 630 nm; product page 460 + 630 nm. Manual LED breakdown lists no 430 nm LEDs.
Light output (irradiance)
30mW/cm²
How it was measured isn’t published. Manufacturer-stated
Dose per session
5.4J/cm²
Calculated by Luma Index
Product page only ('Power Density 30mW/cm²'; comparison table labels it 'Peak power (single LED)'). Not in the manual. Measurement distance, location, instrument, band and whether per-LED or across the mask are NOT disclosed. The 'single LED' label suggests it may not represent irradiance at the skin across the treatment area.
Luma Index calculation: 30 mW/cm² × 180 s ÷ 1000. Not stated by the brand for this device (its science page uses the same arithmetic as a generic example). Valid only if 30 mW/cm² applies across the treated area, which is not established ('Peak power (single LED)').
Light-output figures come from the manufacturer. Independent checks are rare, even in published studies, so treat them as claims. Why
Sources differ: Manual: 3-minute sessions only, longer not recommended. Product page: 3 or 6-minute sessions.
Manual: 3-minute auto-timer only; 'exceeding the treatment time of 3 minutes is not recommended'. Product page: 'Sessions as short as 3 minutes, or 6 for a deeper treatment' and battery figures for 6-minute sessions.
Product page adds a limit of two modes per day per treatment area and '3-5 times per week for 3 or 6 minute sessions'.
Sources differ: Mode 2: manual 'Infrared + Deep Infrared 850 + 1072nm'; product page 'Intense Youth Boost 630 + 850nm'.
Mode 2 is 'Infrared + Deep Infrared 850 + 1072nm' in the manual but 'Intense Youth Boost 630 + 850nm' on the product page.
Product page: fast chargers are not compatible with the older batch of masks.
Manual: charge for 5 hours before first use. Product page FAQ: full charge 'Approximately 5 hours'.
Product page: 'cushioned, IEC 62471-certified eye protection'. No IEC 62471 report or risk group published.
Mask net weight 307 g; controller 105 g; 'Weight 1.1kg' also listed (presumably packaged — not stated).
Controller buttons only; no app mentioned.
No app or paid features mentioned.
Manual: 'Do not attempt repairs if the device fails. Contact us directly.' Battery access not addressed.
Values are as stated by Project E Beauty unless marked otherwise.

Tested by Josie O'Brien. Article states 800 LED chips and nine light combinations; repeats the brand's 'most powerful' claim without evidence.

Featured (no category)
Tried & tested by Josie O'Brien. Lists 800 LEDs and the same wavelengths as our record, and links the Face Pro. Answers 'FDA approved? Yes', but Project E claims FDA clearance only for the separate LumaLux Face V2, and we found no 510(k) for the Face Pro. Some description reads like brand copy ('most powerful… on the market'). Price quoted £309. Roundup by Leanne Bayley (updated 11 Aug 2026). Most entries are 'Tried & Tested' by a named HELLO! writer; some use a customer review instead. The article's only expert is Laura Ferguson, co-founder of The Light Salon, whose mask is listed first. Article carries an affiliate disclosure. Text supplied by the site owner.
Age: Not recommended for children or pre-teens; red light for anti-ageing 'from the early 20s'; under-18s should use blue light only on a dermatologist's or medical professional's recommendation
No UKCA mark or wording found in the manual or on the product page. Manual's last English page shows a CE mark and WEEE bin symbol only.
No manufacturer, importer or UK address published anywhere checked.
Brand makes no FDA claim for the Face Pro (it claims 'FDA Cleared' only for the separate LumaLux Face V2). openFDA 510(k) searches for applicant 'project e' and device name 'lumalux' returned no matches. US status only — not a UK approval.
Brand describes it as 'a cosmetic treatment'; benefits list includes acne, inflammation and scarring. Classification requires further review. MHRA told the BBC on 5 Nov 2025 that 'there are currently no LED face masks currently registered'. Registration can be checked on the MHRA Public Access Registration Database (PARD); not yet checked for this model.
ASA ruling A25-1293784 (5 Nov 2025), Project E Beauty LLC, upheld: ads and the projectebeauty.uk product page made acne and rosacea claims; the ASA 'had seen no evidence that the product was registered with the MHRA or had the appropriate conformity marking'. The brand told the ASA it had removed the ad and amended the page. The ruling names the advertiser as Project E Beauty LLC, Flat B1, 10/F, Block 2 Golden Dragon Ind Centre, 162-170 Tai Lin Pai Road, Kwai Chung, Hong Kong. Ruling does not name the mask model.
IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 62471
Stated on product page/FAQ only ('certified under IEC 60601-1-2'; 'IEC 62471-certified eye protection'); not in the manual. No test reports published. Other standards (e.g. IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-2-57) not mentioned.
A conformity mark or US FDA clearance doesn't prove a device works. "Not published" doesn't mean unsafe. If you have a medical condition, are pregnant or take light-sensitising medicines, ask your GP or pharmacist first.
Sources differ: Manual text: one-year warranty (under a '2 YEAR WARRANTY' heading). Product page and Returns & Warranty page: 2 years.
Returns & Warranty page and product page: 2-year limited warranty (direct or authorised-retailer purchases; proof of purchase and video of the issue required; excludes misuse, unauthorised repair, transfer of ownership). Manual page headed '2 YEAR WARRANTY' but text says 'comes with a one year warranty against manufacturer defects'.
Brand-site purchases only. No UK-specific terms (e.g. 14-day cancellation) stated; no return address published — returns start via projectebeauty.com/a/return or email. Statutory rights also apply.
